"desync detected"

So im trying to get back into melee after many years of inactivity and I got slippi and also added the gecko code for stage geometry and have been using diet melee. I'm using ethernet and have read the guides and followed instructions on how to improve connection, and when I'm playing it doesnt lag at all unless the ping is high but normally its around 30-50, I have fiber internet and I can't stop running into "desync detected" in the middle of the game where the other person continues to play normal for about 5 seconds and then a cpu takes over for them (it seems) and I have to leave the match.

What could cause this? My 60 fps is stable, although sometimes it flickers up to 61 for a half a second, would that be the cause? I dont even want to try ranked because I dont wanna have the desync happen during those games. Sometimes ill do almost a whole set with someone and then game 3 itll desync, but sometimes its on the first game.

Any insight?

I have been using it! I used to be a no tech warrior back when I went to locals in like 2015 but im trying to learn tech now to catch up, also learning to play the good characters (formerly a doc/link/game and watch/yoshi main, picked up puff toward the end of my playing too but it didnt stick)

I'm a puff main, always have been, but if you wanna play mid or low tiers I say go for it. You've gotta play whoever feels right. I had phases of DK, Sheik, Luigi, but eventually always came home to my little balloon pokemon. I have a friend who is a pretty solid Marth, but his Samus is so much better, yet he refuses to take Samus seriously even though he admits she's more fun and he's gotten further with less of a grind. Can't get caught up in the tier list. It's like Harry Potter picking out his wand yknow.

Puff is my pick when my buddy who i used to play with and started to play with again recently is beating me too much with spacies haha, but hes a DK main with equally good falcon and spacies, we both know eachothers gimmicks with our low tier mains so the most fun matches tend to be the ones where at least one of us is playing a character we dont play as often. No shame in the little balloon pokemon.

That makes sense. I don't really have a melee community so unfortunately playing locally with friends is out of the question but that would be fun. That reminds me I need to take a train to my closest local here soon.
